The BonFeu BonPyra is a cone-shaped wood-burning garden fireplace that sits low to the ground on three legs. The cone shape and the tall stove pipe draw the smoke up and out rather than across the patio, and a cut-out of the BonFeu logo runs through the front and lights up once the fire is going. A detachable spark screen keeps logs in and sparks down, and an ash tray at the back catches the ash. Available in black.
About the BonPyra
The BonPyra is the only cone-shaped fireplace BonFeu make, so if that's the shape you want, this is the one in the range that does it. It's one of the larger models at 50cm across and 1.66m tall. Once it's up to temperature the steel holds the heat, so it carries on giving off warmth after the fire has died down.
It's a fire to sit around rather than one to cook on. There's no lid to lift off for a grill or a plancha, and the rotating grill that fits some of the other BonFeu fireplaces doesn't fit this one. If cooking over the fire matters, most of the rest of the range is set up for it, either with a rotating grill or with a top that takes a grill, wok ring or plancha.
Materials
Most BonFeu fireplaces come in Corten steel as well as black. The BonPyra is black only.
It's ordinary steel with a heat-resistant coating, 1.2 to 2mm thick, and it will rust over time. That can start quickly, because heat cycling can open fine cracks in the coating and the rust begins there. It's part of how the fireplace is meant to age and it's where the rugged look comes from. A cover, or storing it in a dry spot between uses, slows it down, and if you'd rather keep the black, small rust spots clean up and can be touched in with a can of BBQ paint.
A 140mm raincap fits the top of the stove pipe and stops rain dropping down it, which is worth having if the fireplace isn't always covered between uses.
Clear the ash out after use, and let the fire burn down rather than putting it out with water, which warps the steel and lifts the coating.
Where to put it
Outdoors only, on a level, non-combustible surface with nothing overhanging it, and with adequate clearance from buildings, walls and garden furniture. Dry leaves, dry grass and pine needles catch easily from a stray spark, so clear the ground around it first.
Concrete paving, brick paving and gravel are all fine as they are. On timber or composite decking, porous stone such as sandstone or limestone, porcelain paving or thin pavers, stand it on a concrete paving slab. The slab has the mass to take the heat, and if anything does crack it's a slab you can replace rather than your patio. A lawn is fine too, though the heat will scorch the grass directly underneath.
Don't use it when the wind is strong or gusting, which pushes smoke and sparks sideways. If it's standing under a roof that opens, open it so the smoke can get away.
Don't move it once the fire is lit. And it can stay hot and keep smouldering for up to 24 hours after the last flames have gone, so treat it as live until the following day.
What to burn
Dry wood or charcoal, and nothing else. No accelerants, no lighter fluid, and no painted or treated timber.
BonFeu recommend kiln-dried seasoned wood with a moisture content of 20% or less. In the UK, look for wood carrying the Ready to Burn mark. Of the hardwoods, beech is the number one choice as it burns down to the best bed of coals under the grill. Ash or oak are also good options. Avoid softwood, which spits and crackles from the resin in it. Pressed briquettes are fine.
What's in the box, and putting it together
The BonPyra arrives in several pieces but goes together in just a few steps. The three legs and the stove pipe bolt on, the log grid drops in, the spark screen door hangs on the front and the ash tray slots in at the back. Both spanners are supplied, and it's worth working on something soft like an old rug so the finish doesn't get scuffed.
It ships on a pallet, and pallet deliveries are kerbside only. The driver will get it to your driveway or garage on a flat, solid surface, but can't take it any further or lift it into position. At 16.1kg it's light enough to manage from there on your own.
Included: the fireplace body, stove pipe, three legs, spark screen door, log grid, ash tray and poker, plus the fixings and tools.
One thing to know if you might want to extend the flue. BonFeu's extra stove pipe sections and angled connectors are made for a 100mm pipe and the BonPyra's is 140mm, so none of them fit. If taking the smoke higher or off at an angle matters for where the fireplace is going, several of the other models in the range do take the extensions.
